woodwards preview
The Woodwards presentation centre is open! I was able to preview the display suite and register clients today, amidst long lineups of other interested people at the Shaw Tower on 1077 West Cordova. There is also a column in today's Vancouver Sun by Pete McMartin with more details and insights. Pricing for some of the plans was better than expected with 1 beds from $240,000-$430,000 (less than $350/sq ft) and some were of course much higher than that such as the K plan, 1155 sq ft for $665,000-$998,000 depending on floor. Deposits will be 10% initial with another 10% in 6 months and we don't know if there will be another 5% after that yet.
The views will be amazing of course, and there will be hardwood floors available for people who purchase on opening day, April 22 for $1.49. The challenge in purchasing will be getting through on the phone lines on April 13th starting at 9:00 am. You need to get through to get your appointment time and then go back to pick up your coloured wrist band. Then the sales happen on April 22nd, with 536 condos in the 2 towers available and over 5,000 people already registered for the project--needless to say Rennie's group think it will be 90% sold on opening day. Definately check out the website--it is one of the best around.. www.woodwardsdistrict.com
